Learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to offer a good basic knowledge of the history of medieval art and introduce some of its general features. Furthermore, it introduces students to the specific terminology and helps them to interpret and understand the works from a stylistic, iconographic, historic and technical standpoint. In the advanced module, a specific theme will be explored in the field of medieval art history, offering knowledge and, above all, an opportunity to exercise the ability to analyze the works in their complexity of meanings and relationships.

Program

ASPECTS AND PROBLEMS OF 4TH-15TH CENTURY MEDIEVAL ART
The objective of this course is to offer an introduction to the study of medieval art. Given the extent of the Middles Ages, as well as the diversity and number of works and related problems therein, the course can only delineate the guidlines and examine certain representative subjects.

TEACHING METHOD
The course will consist of face-to-face lessons and at least two field trips to major medieval monuments in the Verona region; should there be a large number of students, the trips will be made in turns.
The e-learning platform will include the powerpoints presented during the lessons in order to provide a large body of images and an outline useful in studying the textbook, both for students who attend the lessons and those who do not.
For the entire academic year the lecturer or professor will receive individual students at the hours specified on the university web pages, without need to make an appointment. Any possible changes in, or suspension of the above timetable will be promptly announced on the university website.

The course program is the same for students who attend the lessons and those who do not, but it is advisable that the latter contact the professor before taking the examination.
